  • FIG. 1 depicts a communication system including a Radio Access Network (RAN), such as the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) architecture, comprising at least one Radio Base Station (RBS) (eNode B or Node B) 15 (two are shown in figure 1 ) connected to one or more Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) 10.
  • the RAN is connected to a Core network (CN) 12.
  • the RAN and the CN 12 provide communication and control for a plurality of user equipments (UE) 18 that each uses downlink (DL) channels 16 and uplink (UL) channels 17.
  • DL downlink
  • UL uplink
  • Only one uplink channel is denoted 17 and one downlink channel denoted 16.
  • the RBS 15 transmits to each user equipment 18 at respective power level.
  • the user equipments 18 transmit data to the RBS 15 at respective power level.
  • the communication system is herein described as a WCDMA communication system.
  • the skilled person realizes that the inventive method and arrangement works very well on other packet based communications systems as well, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system.
  • the user equipments 18 may be mobile stations such as mobile telephones ("cellular" telephones) and laptops with mobile termination and thus may be, for example, portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included or car-mounted mobile devices which communicate voice and/or data with the RAN.
  • This invention proposes that, provided a UE category, the network signals all gain factors for all E-TFCIs through the Forward Access Channel (FACH) (or Enhanced FACH) to this UE only when UE turns power on rather than during every session setup.
  • FACH Forward Access Channel
  • Enhanced FACH Enhanced FACH
  • the network Since the network is aware of the UE category, in principle, it may signal all gain factors corresponding to one specific table to this UE. Different network vendors or even the same vendor are allowed to have different gain factors settings. For example, different factors might be set depending on whether interference cancellation is used for EUL or not.
  • Figures 2a, 2b and 2c illustrate the inventive signaling mechanisms.
  • the UE category information is sent to the network (step 21).
  • the network selects one UE specific E-TFCI table and informs this UE by using information element "E-TFCI table index”. Meanwhile, the network signals to the UE 18 the gain factors corresponding to this specific E-TFCI table (step 22).
  • the UE sends a location update message to the network (step 23), whereby the network decides whether this is a known UE, already registered, or if it is a new visitor.
  • the network may take one of three solutions as illustrated in Figures 2a, 2b and 2c :
  • solution A shown in fig. 2a , gain factors are always signalled to the UE 18 (step 24).
  • Solution A simplifies the signalling process to some extent because of less back-and-forth signalling procedure and the network doesn't need to store the information on whether or how the UE 18 has been configured before.
  • solution A has more signalling overhead, compared to the other two solutions described below.
  • solution B shown in fig. 2b , the network 15 directly responses with an configuration identity or alternatively configures all to the UE 18 (step 25).
  • the rationality is that in RRC Connected Mode, the UE and its configuration is known by the network, so the RNC should know the current gain factor configurations that the UE has in many cases.
  • the location update could be "conventional" as in current specification without any new indication, as long as the network responds with an indication of which configuration to use or alternatively configures all gain factors in standard fashion.
  • solution B has a requirement on the network side, i.e., the network needs to "remember" this type of configuration for each UE.
  • the network 15 updates the gain factors depending on the reported "gain factor version" from the UE 18 (step 26).
  • the location update is due to mobility (i.e. Cell- or UTRAN Routing Area change). In that case, the UE would not request any resources for data transmission. So the indication of "gain factor version” might be carried on RACH in principle by expanding the update message, i.e. in step 23. Currently, the Enhanced RACH Work Item for Rel-8 gives new opportunities for expanding such message. If the location updates result in a state-change to Cell-DCH, the indication may be carried on UL DCH.
  • Table 1 exemplifies the needed signalling qualities for different UE categories, assuming all gain factors need to be signalled. As discussed above, there is a quantization issue in current specifications, some methods seeking better accuracy in the gain factor configuration that would lead to the quantity issue, would be much worse due to the need of signalling these factors for many times. However, in this invention, if the gain factors are signalled just once, it is affordable to use more bits getting better accuracy, e.g. 8 bits for each gain factor.
  • the network may only signal part of gain factors corresponding to those E-TFCIs that will be used according to the designed PDU size. For some systems supporting of flexible RLC PDU sizes, the network may only need to signal part of gain factors depending on UE capabilities.
  • PDU Packet Data Unit
  • a differential method may be used to further reduce the signalling quantity. For instance, only the gain factor for the first E-TFCI is signalled to UE. The differential values between those gain factors for the first E-TFCI and other E-TFCIs are transmitted.
  • a general classification of different aspects that need to be configured in a UE might be:
  • the first class of configuration may either be broadcasted or sent by dedicated signalling to the UEs, while the second class must be signalled by dedicated signalling.
  • the current situation is that after releasing a RRC connection, maybe the network will with almost 100% certainty set up exactly the same RRC connection with the same RLC timers, MAC multiplexing information, transport format tables etc., which means all parameters will remain the same, but the network acts as if the UE was a memory-less device.
  • the proposed signalling mechanism in this invention may also be applied, i.e., the network signals these parameters only when UE turns power on and update them if necessary.
  • the UE could also be configured to keep its channelization configuration, and MAC multiplexing configuration as well.
  • a variant of the proposed signaling mechanism in this invention might be that those parameters may also be configured in a first RRC connection as does in current 3GPP specification. But after this UE has an RRC connection, UE may "remember" some parameters and the network may check the necessity of updating these parameters during other RRC connections to this UE later. This variant may also reduce the signalling overhead during RRC connection and reduce the RRC connection delay.
